i’m having a hard time getting used to my new band ring… looks like two red eyeballs staring back at me… and having two of them is itchy! suppose it’ll just take some getting used to. finals almost over… math tomorrow. eek. I hope I do well.
thus far, I think i’ve done pretty darn well. my french final was kinda.. eeh.. not so great. B+.. i shouldn’t have rushed through it so quickly. and i should’ve actually read that story. lol… yeeeah. a story for little eight year olds… the chapter titled, “Je Fume” or… I smoke. …yep! lol. so leslie and I have a piccolo throughout the majority of concert band music. fun… stuff. … yeah it’d help if I didn’t have a piccolo that’s prestige is that of a toy. oooh weeell.. it’s interesting lol. at least chester is mostly in the upper octave, so that’s not a problem. although some notes sound reeeeally sharp or flat since air escapes out of the part where the headjoint connects to the body… anyway! stayed after with wadkins today. it was fun! except for the part of my trying to find him for 20 minutes. oh well, i scolded him. lol. he’s really helping me a lot with my solo.. which is good. although we spend about 1/3 of the time joking around about something. staying after again monday… and i think that’ll be my last one. 
eeeh… it’s coming up soon! *shakes, trembles, falls over* yeah… i’ll be okay. at least i’m not nearly as nervous as i was for wadkins… so at least i’m improving. aaand I practiced in the big, open orchestra room for a few minutes before our practice… people were coming in and out of the room, too! I just said to myself, “well hey, see if these people could play this… yes… hear me roar.” lol. aaanyway… I didn’t make it in the nhc honor band… but that doesn’t bother me too much. i kinda.. wasn’t getting my hopes up too high, there. no private lessons… first year since 7th grade in issma… 2nd flute part last year.. yeah. tri-state’s good for me lol. I have 2nd flute in that, but considering how ridiculously nervous i was during my audition, i’m grateful for anything lol. I literally shook when i was even playing scales. bleh. oh well. which reminds me… i have to get practicing that.. the 2nd part isn’t easy by no means.. just.. not that hard, either. it’ll be more fun than stressful, in other words. course… i have fun playing my solo.. which is the most stressful thing i’ve ever attempted in my life… 
so i don’t know, nevermind. aah these rings bug me even when i type. hmm… lol. bleh i’m tired. i should sleep. i swear, i never sleep anymore. stay up way too late… get up early. tomorrow i’m going with a bunch of peoples to yen ching and the golf dome. that ought to be fun. 
hope i have a ride. aaanyway.. i’m off.
